p. 164-171, in all the Figures and graphs, the cost of c22 should be 6 and c31 should be 7.
As a consequence of this change, all calculations that involve c22 have to be changed. The following 5 pages of corrections follow:
p.165, l. 3, change $7 to$6 and the sum from $630 to$600
p.166, l.6, change 7 to 6; l.6, "= 10"; l. 8, net change is 10-12 = -2; l.9, "the solution by 2."
last sentence in 2nd para., "has a cost of $580 which, as expected, is$20.."

edge (1,3) "=$8-$10= -$2 increase by 2; edge (2,3) "c23 =$0 = v3 - u2 = $8 -$8 = $0 no change"; edge (3,1) "c31 =$7 > v1 - u3 = $14 -$8 = $6 increase of$1"
later on p.170: beginning of line -7 "2+6-4-6=-2"; l.-6 "will ave $2"; beginning of l.-3 "shipments in (2,1) and (1,2)"; l.-2 "40x$2 = $80" p. 171, display (5): v1 =$12, u2 = $6; display (6) edge (1,1):"c11=$4 > v1-u1=$12-$10=$2 increase of$2";
edge (1,3):"c13= $0 > v3-u1=$6-$10=-$4 increase of $4"; edge (2,3):"c23=$0 = v3-u2=$6-$6=$0 no change"; edge (3,1): "c31=$7 > v1-u3 = $12-$6=$6 increase of$1."
Also on p. 168, Figure 4.21: Supply for Warehouse 2 (on the right) should be 40, not 20.
p. 173, Exer 6, the second mention of store 2 should be 'store 3'
line 7, should be "x13 = min (40,20) = 20. . ."
p. 185, Exer 26, should be"an integer from 0 to 9,999.."
p. 231, Ex. 27a. in sum, 'denominator' in bin. coeff. should be j, then j+1, going p to k, where 1
p. 235, Exer 45 Answer part (a)-- last term in answer should be 4!
p.257, in first breakout, the expansion of g(x) should have all positive terms.
p. 396, Fig 11.2: no edges should go out from vertices 4, 9, 16, or 36.
p. 424, at the end of Example 2, the parenthetical remark should be "See Exer. 15"
p. 439, Sect 1.3, Ex. 5, 'z' should be '2'L 1.4: Ex 3d, delete e.
Sect 1.4 3d, should read 'delete e'.
p. 449, Sect 3.4, Ex. 3 should refer to Exer 17, not 13, in Sect 3.1.
p. 453, Sect 5.1, Ex. 17a (at end of answer) Exponent of 8 should be n-1.
Ex 23b,should be 8^3*7 + 1
p. 455, Sect 5.4, 3b, denominator should be '(52!/13!^4).
Sect 5.4, 9a C(9,4) instead of C(19,4).
p. 458, Sect 6.2, Ex. 29 remove the '}' in the second line.
p. 462, Sect 8.1, Ex. 7 the plus sign should be a minus sign.
p. 463, Sect 8.2, Ex. 11 last term should be C(3+6-1,3)
p. 465, Sect 9.3, Ex. 7.e 2nd term should be 2m^2.
